10 vintage and eco-friendly stores you’ll want to visit in Berlin

I no longer buy new clothes- you can read about why here. Instead, I love finding second-hand bargains or clothes that someone has up-cycled into something unique and beautiful. I also no longer buy touristy souvenirs as a reminder of a country I’ve traveled to, instead I prefer to find a unique item of clothing or jewelry that will remind me of the country whenever I wear it. If you feel the same then you might like these gorgeous stores I found whilst wandering around Mitte in Berlin.

This store is amazing! Full of up-cycled vintages dresses, blouses, denim jackets and more, I couldn’t get enough. I fell in love with and purchased two blouses, as they had a distinctly Berlin feel to me.

Probably the best value and range of all the stores I visited, as there are clothes from different people selling what they no longer want. It’s well curated and doesn’t feel cramped thanks to the open-plan layout. They also have a great range of jeans.

Some of the most stunning hand-made jewelry I’ve seen. They stock more than twenty jewelry collections, with a focus on contemporary Argentinian designers. I wanted everything. And I’ve never been in a shop that smelt better. My favorite store in all of Berlin.

This chain store has a large range but displayed in a more hap-hazard and tightly packed way than other stores. As the name suggests you pay by the weight of your clothes, so you can get a good deal on lighter items.

And finally, Berlin’s largest flea market! It’s open every Sunday from 8am-5pm And I’ve heard it’s best to arrive early for the bargains. Unfortunately I had to catch my bus early Sunday morning so I couldn’t get there this trip.
